Great job! Works fine on Thunderbird 31.I would like to suggest to also implement in the future a simple rule:-------------------------------------E-mails received at xxx@mailserver.xxx.com replay with identity xxx@xxx.com-------------------------------------That will be helpful for users using servers that in some situations generate a "ghost" e-mail by adding a subdomain. I have this problem right now; anyhow you extensions is helping me with this.

No Longer works in TB 2Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I've used this add-on for many years, but sadly that last version that worked in Thunderbird 2.0.0.24, which I'm still usingm, was Correct Identity v1.3.5 -- v1.3.6 on no longer function. After I noticed it quit working and went to check how its Options were set, only to discover that it wasn't detecting any of my email accounts or my default identity anymore -- which renders it useless. It appears that something in the 1.3.6 update that broke compatibility with TB 2.

Very sad, as it was an extremely useful tool for managing email from multiple accounts...

I've downloaded this add on to automatically reply from the correct posteo-alias. This doesn't work. Besides the posteo address I'm using a googlemail address. Here replying from the correct e-mail-address works - but it also works without this addon... I've activated the option in the settings and I'm not using any other add on. What might have gone wrong?

I know it doesn't belong here, but I've got this question. Sorry if I'm too blind to find a way to contact the developer on this page...

I'm sorry to hear this. Did you open the options of the addon and enable the 'attempt to find and use an identity that appear in its recipient list' checkbox for each of your mail accounts? Furthermore on the detection tab you can enable/disable detection for each identity individually. If the addon still doesn't work please disable all your other addons one by one to see if these are interfering. Hope this may help, otherwise please send me an email.

Doesn't seem to change a thing. My replies still want to go out on different accounts. Using Thunderbird 31.1.0*******The selection tab is set to use the default identity of the account, and the box is checked for "When replying a message". If I click other accounts, it remains checked. If I am the sole recipient of a message in my default email account, it is responding with a different account. Similarly on the Detection tab, the box is checked and shows up as such for every account. *******What I just noticed is the replies that switch accounts don't show a recipient (bcc) but I only correspond (daily) with this person on only the default account. The end result is exactly the same with or without this addon; bcc emails switch accounts, named ones do not. Hope this helps you find a fix!

This add-on solves (so far, all) the problems associated with multiple accounts and the accidental usage of the wrong FROM address when sending or replying to emails. It took me a while to find this on the web but it was well worth the search and I am now much more confident that I will not send a work message from my private account and vise-versa again. Thanks Dennis for an excellent add-on

Simple and elegantly solves the indentity selection problemRated 5 out of 5 stars

I've been needing something like this for a long time. Finally, after deciding that hand picking the identity was taking its toll. This simple add-on enables me to setup simple rules to pick the identity to use automatically, saving me a lot of time and trouble!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.1).

If you want to use multiple aliases, then this is the extension to go with. I have never looked into other extension because this one treats my multiple Gmail addresses just extremely well. Thank you for maintaining this extension!

seems not to work with Thunderbird 24Rated 1 out of 5 stars

I have installed the plugin, set up the rules. Still the default identity is taken when replying to an email. It seems that the plugin has no effect. Maybe this is not the plugin but the new TB bug 933555?

This works!Rated 4 out of 5 stars

This add-on did what I wanted it to do, albeit only when I installed azurewelkin's fixed version for Thunderbird v13 (see the comment just before this one).

Some history: Somehow the domain-based automatic identity selection had stopped working at some point, perhaps on an automatic upgrade to Thunderbird v13. Previously I was able to reply-to a message, and my stock Thunderbird would properly select the identity based on the domain of the original message's recipient, not just the entire email address. This more "fuzzy" matching meant that if I received a message at "catchall@customdomain.com", replying would automatically select my identity for "MarkerB@customdomain.com"

However, the add-on does need to be trained first, by editing the "detection" option for each identity I want to autodetect the domain. I simply select the identity, and add the corresponding domain as an alias. For my example above, I would select the identity for "MarkerB@customdomain.com" from the pull-down, and enter an alias of "customdomain.com"

Resolution of the compatibility problem with Thunderbird v13Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been experiencing the same problem as avfan (see the review below this one) ever since upgrading to Thunderbird v13. In short Correct Identity seems to always choose the same identity for some of us.

I found the culprit to be Thunderbird v13 including the "Delivery-To" address in the recipient list passed to Correct Identity. For those of us who forward all our emails to one account, this causes Correct Identity to choose this account every time (if it is ordered before the other identities, which is usually the case).

Instead of waiting for the author to update this fantastic add-on, I got impatient and tweaked the code a little bit. I have put the new xpi file and the explanations at the following page:

http://www.stanford.edu/~xidong/correctidentity/

I thought this might be helpful for other people looking for the reason and fix of the same failure, before the next update of Correct Identity addresses it. Thanks for maintaining such a terrific add-on though!

[Reply to the Developer on 07/11/2012:]I thought choosing the first address in the recipient list that matches any of the identities was nicer, because if you receive an email addressed to one of your identity, but also CC'ed to your other identity, this fix would choose the one that the email is actually addressed to. Your current code selects the first identity (in the order that Thunderbird has on file) that matches any of the recipients, regardless of whether they are in the CC list or not.

This is perhaps a personal preference (albeit a lot of people, if not most, would perhaps prefer choosing the To address over the CC ones). If you could put a simple radio box to let the user choose the way that this is handled, that would be great.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.4).

Thanks

I heard this problem from other users but couldn't figure out what their problem was. You tackled the cause exactly, thanks very much for that and sharing it here. I am about to submit v1.3.5 which fixes it, though keeping BC. I however do not include your two other tweaks, if you have a really close look you'll notice iterating hints the other way around will not make the result differ.

Thanks and regards,

Dennis

Has stopped working since I upgraded to Thunderbird version 13.0.1Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This add-on has been an absolute must and a life saver for me for several years now. But, it has stopped working and none of the alternative add-ons I've tried work either. Something they changed in this build of TB has broken the ability for these add-ons to do their job. Please make a fix soon!

(Edit, July 3, 2012):Dennis - thanks for your fast response! I disabled all other addons and still no luck. I am running v1.3.4 of Correct Identity, Win7 Pro SP1 64bit. I rolled back to Thunderbird v12.0.1 and Correct Identity works again.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.3).

Cannot confirm

Thanks for your review. I am running 13.0.1 and cannot seem to confirm your issue, it is working fine for me. When I disable the addon the default identity for the account is chosen, when I enable the addon the correct identity is chosen at which I recieved the e-mail. I have several other addons installed which might interfere with my addon, like Virtual Identity, but they do not seem to. Can you please try disabling all other addons, check if it is working, then one by one enable the other addons and detect which one interferes. Hope that helps, if the addons is not working any way, please send me your OS, version, etcetera.
